Career Advice for Students : Career by Design Workshop

Welcome to another useful session of Career by Design.
Its surprising that when we get stuck in life and need help, instead of asking for help, we tend to find answers on our own which can sometimes lead to utter confusion in our own mind and may even lead us to taking wrong decisions.
Some of us fear asking questions because we feel that we might sound foolish. Or we are confused as to who we should go to for resolving our query? But as its said, There are no foolish questions and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
